Thanks Dad O’Connell Bridge Growing up

Growing up

deeply human pull toward home

Early morning at the water's edge is always a beautiful place to find oneself

It's easy to sit in front of the TV and watch other people pursuing their dreams

I chose lyrics from her song Mandinka to accompany the portrait as in many ways they encapsulate her spirit of defiance perfectly

Thanks Dad O’Connell Bridge Growing upThere is no relationship quite like our relationship with our father. They are often overlooked in the parenting stakes but their example and guidance is long lasting. That's Fran's dad in the photo with the original Thanks Dad piece. He earned it!
